Great pics, Hanco! I’ve only shot hogs in Central CA where I grew up on a cattle ranch.
At the time (80’s & 90’s) we only had a .243, 270 & 30-06’s. We never changed our deer loads which were 130 or 150 grain Speers or Hornady. We killed them with .243 as well (85gr any C&C) but that was when we bumped into them while coyote or ground squirrel hunting. Killed them easy - no fuss. They get a reputation for being tough because some folks shoot them too far back in fear of that ‘grissle plate’ which isn’t really something to shoot around IMO and get some long runners that just go off & die elsewhere which sucks but happens.
Wish we had populations like what you in Texas do back in the day - I really miss hog hunting.
